Palacio Nazarenas Cuzco Accommodations

ABOUT THE PALACIO NAZARENAS - in their own words:
Set in a tranquil plaza behind Cuzco's main square, this former palace and convent is emerging from years of restoration to become one of the city's most exclusive hotels. 

Step past walls of Inca stones and into a cloistered courtyard with an ancient fountain at its heart. Then be surprised as contemporary Cuzco comes to the fore: a fabulous spa, the city's first outdoor pool and stylish restaurants serving cutting-edge local cuisine.

This intimate urban retreat has just 55 suites, each enriched with oxygen and with its own private bar where guests (or their private butler) can create drinks accented with fresh ingredients grown at and around the hotel.

LOCATION:
Positioned in an exclusive enclave in downtown Cuzco, close to the city’s central square, 11,152ft (3,399m) above sea level, in what was once the capital of the Inca Empire.

OUR SUITES - click here for complete details
Each of the hotel’s suites are generously proportioned, boasting plush king-sized or twin poster beds, Peruvian marble bathrooms with underfloor heating and 24-hour butler service. Deluxe suites also contain original Inca and colonial design features.

All suites can be enriched with oxygen to help combat the negative effects of Cusco’s high altitude. You may also choose to have the space scented with healing Andean aromas.
